Looting and arson, violence and madness. People love the glory of fear and it's a virus, it spreads. Protesters are not these people at all, maybe a peppering in the mix, but these are just simply nazis doing a blitzkrieg. Different country different times, same tactics. Here's the funny thing, I feed the homeless and help those in need in this area, and I noticed one things from two nights...

Nobody for 6-7 hours of looting gave out a tee shirt, sweatpants, sneakers or shoes, not even food to the homeless. Nobody thought for a second, hey instead of sneakers to my neck and target to my knees should I help those in need, always beaten by the system the most.

Just greedy people who had no interest in anything about George Floyd, a good man who has his life taken by nazi cops. Funny how there's a parallel there.

You do not ever have to excuse or side with violent cops, looters or arsonists / felony assault(murder now too). Ever. No need to parrot it's ok, or there's a reason. There is no reason for any of this evil. We were made with the ability to make decisions for ourselves.

Be like the German in that WWII picture who refused to nazi salute whether you're white, black, asian, latino or something else, what does it matter? Do not give into peer pressure and do the wrong thing and claim it's for the right reason. Funny how most of the people doing the wrong thing on all sides claim it's for the right reasons. Cognitive dissonance and molding the narrative.

We should be better than that. We should remember in this case that black lives have ALWAYS mattered not just now with jpg memes and cardboard signs. And all lives should be treated without racism like the covid 19 "china virus" slurs, attacks, and looting and threats to asian americans by the very same people claiming they are treated exactly the same and others as well.

Never allow yourself to make excuses for doing any of these terrible things, you can do better than that. And stop forgetting the poor and homeless because it is inconvenient.
